July is about to get red hot with discounts on the best men's sneakers thanks to the upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2024, but if you need a pair right now, Target is the place you want to look. The retailer's Circle Week sale, which is running now through July 13, is officially live and is filled with great deals on everything from AirPods to air conditioners. One of the most head-turning deals during Target's sale is on a popular pair of Reebok gym shoes that's an absolute steal at under $40.
The Reebok Flexagon Force 4 Training Shoes are on sale for just $35 during Target Circle Week—a 50% discount on the normal $70 price. These athletic shoes have earned over 150 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they're "very lightweight" and an "exceptionally good value" for gym shoes. They're available on sale in 10 colors and come in sizes 6.5 to 14.
These Reebok sneakers were designed to be the ultimate shoes for working out during gym routines, intense HIIT workouts, and even for playing pickleball. They have the best features of Reebok's running shoes, including a breathable mesh upper and a comfortable lining, but the midsole and outsole were built for both movement and stability. Thanks to the brand's FreeFoam midsole tech, exercises like box jumps and lunges are well-padded, while the relatively flat outsole provides a good platform for moderate lifting. Despite that, it still has grooves that keep it flexible, which helps during workouts that mix cardio into the routine intermittently.
There are plenty of reasons why shoppers have opted for the Flexagon Force 4 over a shoe like the Nike Metcon or the Under Armour Project Rock, and many attribute that to its ability to keep up with any workout. "Perfect shoes for my boxing workout," one shopper said. "These were exactly what I was looking for. They are very comfortable and give me excellent stability. Perfect for working out in the gym and light running." Another shopper agreed, saying, "I do high-impact workouts 2 to 3 times a week and these sneakers feel like they were made for it."
If it's not the performance that shoppers have been after, it's definitely the comfort. "Great trainers, lovely fit if you have slightly wide feet as I do," a shopper noted. "Feels like you are walking on air, as they are so well cushioned." Another shopper who picked them as a walking shoe said, "Very comfortable for walking 10 miles-plus a day."
If you're looking for your next go-to pair of shoes for working out, it's a near guarantee that the Reebok Flexagon Force 4 is the best deal you'll find online while it's just $35 during Target Circle Week. Make sure to pick yours up soon, though, because the discounts go away on July 13.
